Update on NNNG Testing
Posted: Wed Dec 04, 2024 7:58 am
It's been a bit since I posted on anything. I've been busy with non-hobby things and with the holidays approaching it becomes a tighter squeeze for time.
Right now, I've a few minutes to catch up on a couple of things.
The NNNG rules are moving along. Every spare bit of time I get I rewrite and add/subtract something in the rules. I hope to add 3 more test groups to the two groups operating now. The extra 3 test groups will go a longways in helping to speed up play testing. Although, it probably won't happen until after Christmas 2024.
I consider every suggestion and opinion offered by the test players, and I tweak the rules based on those suggestions. However, to ensure that the essence of the game remains intact, I can't change the core rules too much without a major rewrite. And I'm not doing that. Perhaps in the future someone else can take that task on, if NNNG warrants it.
The 2 test groups use Signal a very secure messaging system, which I also use quite frequently, but I've been pushing to use another platform for the test groups, especially since we'll be adding 3 more test groups. It's much easier to keep track of and answer questions in a static environment rather than a dynamic one like Signal, where group chat moves the questions or suggestions up as new chats take up the display. It's very inconvenient as I don't always have the time to scroll through various conversations to find a question or suggestion. Hence the use of this board or something similar. At the present some are emailing me with whatever questions or suggestions they have, but since I want to inform every one of my replies, e-mail is not always the best choice since I'd need all persons email addresses, which I don't have.
Any way that's it for now. I'll try to post more before Christmas, and if not, then I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.
